From Malawi ... May 2007 The rains have all but finished, leaving a luxurious display of flora all around, but devastating road surfaces. Most of our travel is on dirt roads – the tamac stops just outside the cities and major routes, so progress out in the Bush is painfully slow – and I do mean painful! Being thrown around in our ancient 4x4 Toyota for hours on end is challenging, tiring and expensive in constant car repairs! However, it’s great to be back in Malawi.......
Early Days ... July 2005
